Spartans = Sardaukar

[Caid Ivik]

Slaves were usual and if you just moved to other city you were looked on as a spy. Most towns firstly demanded some serving to state before giving citizenship. Mostly serving in army or hard taxes. Sparta was just rather more closed to the others because it was an inland city. It was easier to get into merchant metropolis like Athenai.

Visitors to Sparta were very, very rare, and giving citizenship to a non-born spartan was almost unthinkable - as I have said, it was only done as a last resort with high demands due to the population crisis later in its history. Otherwise, what would spartan want with a foreigner? They'd just be another mouth to feed, and the spartans didn't use money much.
